Photos and Description of the Merida vacation condo rental
Condo, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3 Baths, (Sleeps 5)

Lovely spacious rooftop penthouse located on the main boulevard on the north side of town in the city's oldest upscale neighborhood, Campestre. The Club Campestre is across the street. Private covered parking for your car, or catch a bus that runs in front of the building to go downtown in 10 minutes or across the street to the beach at Progreso (30 minutes). Within short walking distance: Superama (Wal-Mart grocery store), 7-11 convenience, 24 hour pharmacy, restaurants, bars, stationery store, and more. Longer walking distance to the north: Burger King, Chili's, Home Depot, Sam's Club, Sears, MacDonald's, and a mall.

Downtown ("Centro") offers wonderful concerts at the restored colonial theatre "Peon Contreras" for a nominal admission and numerous public cultural events at the "Olimpo". We recently saw the Faberge jewel collection and an exhibit of drawings by Goya. The murals in the government buildings are impressive. Sundays on the plaza mayor are the scene of music, dance, and the sale of handicrafts and food. Every Saturday evening there is night of music and dance entertainment "Noche Mexicana" outdoors on Paseo Montejo. Just strolling down Paseo Montejo, the main boulevard, on the tree-lined sidewalks alongside the historic mansions, is a delight...or you can take a horse and buggy ride around the downtown area.

Uptown offers a modern mall "Galerias Merida" with an ice skating rink and department stores, as well as theatres.

Heading north en route to Progreso and the coast are the ruins of Dzbilchaltun, which are well worth a visit.

About The Owner

My husband and I enjoy sitting on the terrace overlooking the main boulevard and watching the city come to life in the mornings. It is also a lovely place to watch the sunset each day and enjoy the full moon over the rooftops.

The Owner purchased this condo in 2008
Why The Owner chose Merida

Merida is an interesting, vibrant city with many cultural activities. Many events are free, others charge a nominal fee, such as the symphony concerts. The people are pleasant, honest, and family oriented. Merida is a city of contrasts: the colonial "centro" downtown, and ultra modern malls with ice skating rink and luxury movie theatres.

What makes this condo unique

The apartment is located within walking distance of an upscale supermarket, restaurants, convenience store, pharmacy, and is on the bus route. Progreso beaches are 30 minutes to the north, and there are Mayan ruins enroute. Located across from the Club Campestre, the apartment offers a safe, private "treetop" terrace for relaxing. Also TV Cable and internet access, washer, A/C.

We recently spent 3 weeks in this very spacious condo. The property is well maintained and very comfortable with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. We used the city bus daily which stopped almost right at the door. There were lots of restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. The neighbourhood is very safe and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the terrace and appreciated the breezes and the afternoon shade. The owner is very helpful and quick to respond to any queries you might have. You can catch the bus to Progresso ( a 1/2 hour trip) only a 10 minute walk away and enjoy an afternoon at the beach. We highly recommend this rental.

Outstanding owner. Was quick to solve the minor problems we had. The view from the fourth floor patio was great. Apartment was spacious and clean. The location couldn't be better. It made it easy to get anywhere. I would highly recommend it.You need to be able to negotiate the 4 flights of stairs.If you go don't miss the Saturday nights at Noche Mexicana.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely condo with us. We were pleasantly surprised by the large size and beautiful decor. We especially enjoyed the patio in the mornings and evenings. We were very impressed with the friendly and helpful people throughout the Yucatan.

We recommend that visitors consider:
A day trip to Chichen-[ go early, Uxmal (our favorite less tourist ) and the Puuc Region
Progreso and Celestun beaches
Izamal
Street festival on the main plaza. We also rented bikes-get there early.

Way too many good things to list on that wonderful vacation.
